Ergon Grips and Packs

Ergon-bike's grips make the list of things that you didn't think you need but then never want to do without once you try 'em. We consider them essential gear for any race with long bike sections, cycle touring, or even daily commuting. They make some pretty sweet packs too that are so different (in a good way) than anything else out there that we really don't know how to describe them - you better just see for yourself. Available in Grand Forks at the Ski and Bike shop and elsewhere at any locally owned bike shop worth it's salt.

FAQ: What kind of a store is this? Why can't I buy Ergon grips here?!

Well, we think that local is good. When stuff is available locally (particularly at locally owned shops), we here at GUP think it is a good practice to support these businesses. A good case in point is with Ergon. Yeah, we could probably figure out a way to make our little non-profit some by dough selling their awesome grips through our site, but Ergon gear is already available at the Ski and Bike shop - a wonderful store with good people who also support our efforts. Be sure and say hi to Terry for me when you stop in. Cheers!
